Resurrection: Part Four
by BuffyT
When Angel woke up he was in Buffy's bedroom. It was 3:45 in the morning and still dark. His heart beat faster when he did not see Buffy lying next to him. He looked up at her bed where she was sleeping peacefully. He breathed a sigh if relief. Then he realized how good it felt to breathe. ŒI'm not a vampire anymore!' he thought. He took a deep breath in celebration and gazed at Buffy's sleeping form. She stirred and sat up, rubbing her eyes. Immediately Angel sat down next to her.

"Buffy! Are you okay?" he asked concerned.

"Angel! I'm so glad...you're back." Buffy pulled him into a tight embrace and kissed him softly on the lips. "How are you?"

"I'm fine now." Angel kissed her and noticed the bite marks on her neck, and kissed them too. Buffy took his face in her hands.

"How do you feel?" she asked.

"Well, I don't have an urge to kill you, and I need to breathe." Buffy laughed.

"You're human."

"Yeah." They sat there, gazing at each other.

"I didn't think I would ever see you again." Buffy said. "I missed you. I love you so much."

Angel paused for a moment, then returned the vow. "I love you too." Angel kissed her softly, then more passionately as they got comfortable in each other's arms.

At that moment the door knocked and opened and Buffy's mother walked in, yawning.

"Is something wrong? I heard..." Joyce then looked up and saw them kissing deeply on Buffy's bed, every mother's nightmare. Buffy and Angel both turned and looked at her. They parted and Buffy smoothed down her hair, her mind racing to come up with a good excuse for this.

"Mom! I..."

"What do you think you're doing?" Joyce yelled. "Get that boy out of my house!"

"We were studying, we fell asleep, we woke up..." said Buffy lamely.

"Hello Mrs. Summers" said Angel. "I was just leaving actually." He got up and backed out the door Buffy following. They giggled as they ran down the stairs to the door.

"I hope I didn't get you in too much trouble," said Angel, restraining his laughter. Buffy laughed too. Just the sight of his beautiful smile made her warm all over.

"It's okay. I'll see you later today. A few hours, in my room. We can watch the sunrise." Buffy said.

"I'll be there." He leaned in for a goodbye kiss and after a second saw Buffy's mother come down the stairs and stand, watching them with her arms crossed. "I've got to go." he whispered. "I love you." He gazed at her for one more second then smiled and ran into the night. When Buffy could no longer see him, she slowly closed the door and turned around to see her mother standing glaring at her.

"I love you?" said Buffy weakly.

"Get upstairs." she said sternly. "We'll discuss this in the morning."

"Yes mother." Buffy got halfway up the staircase when she turned around. "You'd better get used to him mom. We're gonna be together forever." Buffy turned and ran up the stairs.

"Kids." muttered Joyce with a sigh.
